From the cycle path, you can see the eastern face of the Guercy massif, where the Soyons caves, discovered in the 19th century, are located. The Nero cave contains traces of prehistoric human and Neanderthal life, while the Trou du Renard is a vast network of galleries resulting from limestone concretions.

On the Soyons site, an exceptional set of cavities was discovered at the end of the 19th century. Currently two prehistoric and concretion caves are open to the public. Nero's cave immerses us in prehistory and the life of Neanderthal man.
The Fox Hole reveals the underground world and provides access to a gallery of limestone concretions with stalagmites, stalactites, draperies, columns. A botanical trail will take you to the porch of the caves. The visit is guided and lasts one hour. Combined ticket “caves + archaeological museum of Soyons”. Introductory workshops on archaeological excavation for children (information on workshop dates at the museum). Cave classified as a “Historic Monument” and “Natura 2000” “ENS” and “Vineyards and Discoveries” site.

The Hill housing Nero's Grotto is close to the cycle path, and well worth visiting, although entry inside is typically limited. It has been listed since 1965 for its archaeological site. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grotte_de_N%C3%A9ron
